Please join me this Wednesday, when I'll be reading from THE END AS I KNOW IT as part of Makor's Debut Fiction Night. This is my last reading currently scheduled in New York. Also reading will be Jennifer Gilmore, Karen Russell, and Yael Goldstein. (Yael, author of the excellent novel OVERTURE, read with me at KGB Bar earlier this month.)

There's a new podcast of an interview with me now available on Six Apart's website. Six Apart is the company behind Movable Type, a blogging and content management software program I've worked with for many years in my non-writing life. They kindly arranged for renowned online radio host Jesse Thorn (THE SOUND OF YOUNG AMERICA) to interview me. We discussed THE END AS I KNOW IT, Y2K, blogging, and Movable Type plugins. You can listen to or download the interview here:

Many thanks to all who attended my reading at KGB Bar. The event was recorded, and will be available as a podcast, along with a brief interview. They don't appear to have the previous reading up yet, so it may be a while, but it should eventually appear here:

I want to make sure everyone is aware that my website doesn't only contain the book-related details you already know. I'm blogging there regularly--about THE END AS I KNOW IT and Y2K, of course, but also about such disparate topics as chain letters, Robert Pinsky, and the economic stability of Brazil (well, I'm still working on that one).

In other words, there's often new stuff on the site. Please stop by from time to time, and by all means leave a comment or two if the spirit moves you.

Also, each entry on the blog now has a "Share It" box that lets you easily submit the entry to Digg, del.icio.us, and other user-driven news sites. If you participate in any of these sites and find one of the entries interesting, submit away!
